Influence of WIN 55,212-2 mesylate on the anticonvulsant action of the studied antiepileptic drugs in various animal seizure models

Seizure model
Antiepileptic drug MES PTZ 6 Hz
Clobazam ↑ (2.5 and 5 mg/kg)a N.T. 0 (5 mg/kg)d
Clonazepam N.T. 0 (15 mg/kg)c ↑ (2.5 and 5 mg/kg)d
Phenobarbital ↑ (10 mg/kg)b ↑ (15 mg/kg)c ↑ (5 mg/kg)d
Valproate ↑ (10 mg/kg)b ↑ (15 mg/kg)c ↑ (5 mg/kg)d

Doses of WIN, which significantly potentiated the anticonvulsant activity of the studied antiepileptic drugs, are given in parentheses

MES—maximal electroshock-induced seizure test, PTZ—pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure test, 6 Hz—psychomotor (limbic) 6 Hz-induced seizure test, ↑—increase in the anticonvulsant activity of the studied antiepileptic drug, 0—no significant effect despite the administration of WIN at a maximally tested dose, N.T.—not tested
